Heritage

The lake is more than a mere relaxation and recreation venue; it is part of a delightful rural and historic heritage.

Not only does it have villages full of unusual architecture and an age-old countryside of hedgerows and meadows, the Der area also offers excursions filled with a unique architectural history – that of the timbered churches.

Explore the mysteries of the lake at the folk museum (Musée du Pays du Der) or take narrow country roads and see charming stone churches flooded with light from superb stained-glass windows.

There are also countless museums and country houses that were home to famous people. Now they reveal the arts, crafts and traditions of a region shaped by Mother Nature.
